Exactly. Fake death of a supposed SEAL team member.
If you are going to fake that it's in for a penny, in for a pound and zero credibility all around!

I think since it's a world story that the media is pushing as a "human interest" story with word association of soccer coinciding with the World Cup that these kids were surprisingly not interested in watching apparently to allegedly take a nearly three mile walk down into a hole in the ground that would require another near 3 mile walk back or maybe longer since I have not heard where they were supposedly going or stopping at.

That is a LONG trek to be making after giving your all at a practice or game or whatever reason these guys were together.

It could be related to a World event or a distraction from a world event about to take place with everybody looking elsewhere.
